Letter: Love thy neighbor?

To the editor:

One is tempted to rant and rave when confronted with the hatred and bigotry on display in the letter published Feb. 25 titled “Sinful lifestyle.” Instead, I will keep it simple and ask if this is what Christians really mean when they say to love their neighbor as they do themselves? If it is, I can only assume that I am surrounded by a lot of self-loathing individuals.
